Organic materials which may be mentioned are in particular synthetic polymers, for example thermoplastics or elastomers, in particular the former. Polyolefins are particularly to be emphasised as organic materials.

The use of the compounds according to the invention in coatings of all types is particularly preferred. These can be pigmented or non-pigmented coatings or metal effect coatings. They can contain an organic solvent or be solvent-free or aqueous coatings.

As binders, the coatings can contain at least one of the abovementioned polymers. Examples of coatings containing specific binders are the following:

1. Coatings based on cold- or hot-crosslinkable alkyd, acrylate, polyester, epoxy or melamine resins or mixtures of such resins, if desired with addition of an acidic curing catalyst;

2. Two-component polyurethane coatings based on hydroxyl group-containing acrylate, polyester or polyether resins and aliphatic or aromatic polyisocyanates;

The coatings can also be radiation-curable coatings.

Usually in this case, the binding agent is a mixture of such compounds.

The coatings can be applied as single layer or two-layer coatings, the stablisers according to the invention preferably being added to the non-pigmented uppermost layer.

The coatings can be applied to the substrates (metal, plastic, wood etc.) by the customary methods, for example by brushing, spraying, pouring, dipping or electrophoresis.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention are thus paints or lacquers (for example automotive lacquers) which contains at least one compound according to the invention. Suitable binders are, for example, those mentioned above.

The amount of compounds according to the invention added depends on the substrate and the demands on its stability. In general 0.01 to 10% by weight, in particular 0.02 to 5% by weight, especially 0.05-3, for example 0.1-2% by weight, thereof are added, relative to the organic material. Mixtures of various compounds according to the definition can also be added.

Incorporation into the organic materials can be carried out, for example, by mixing in the compounds according to the invention and if desired other additives according to the methods customary in industry. Polymers, in particular synthetic polymers, can be incorporated before or during moulding, or by applying the dissolved or dispersed compounds to the polymer, if desired with subsequent evaporation of the solvent. In the case of elastomers, these can also be stabilised as latices. A further possibility for the incorporation of the compounds according to the invention in polymers comprises their addition before or during polymerisation of the corresponding monomers or before crosslinking.

The compounds according to the invention or mixtures thereof can also be added into the plastics to be stabilised in the form of a masterbatch which contains these compounds, for example, in a concentration of 2.5 to 25% by weight.

The incorporation of the compounds according to the invention can expediently be carried out by the following methods:

as an emulsion or dispersion (for example to give latices or emulsion polymers)

as a dry mixture during mixing of additive components or polymer mixtures

by direct addition to the processing apparatus (for example extruders, internal mixers etc.

as a solution or melt.

Incorporation into coatings or coating compositions can also be carried out by customary methods. 0.01 to 5, in particular 0.02 to 3% by weight of compound according to the invention, are expediently added. The addition to the coating formulation can be carried out before, together with or after addition of the binder and, if desired, other components.

EXAMPLE 1:

14.5 g (0.03 mol) of 2-(2-hydroxy-4-ethoxycarbonylmethoxyphenyl)-4,6-bis(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (prepared as described in CH-A 484 695, Example 44) are initially introduced into a 100 ml sulfonation flask. 4.65 g (0.03 mol) of 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine and 0.1 g of dibutyltin oxide, as a catalyst, are added to this. The mixture is heated to an internal temperature of 150° C. and a solution of 0.4 g of 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine in 100 ml of toluene is allowed to drip in slowly from a dropping funnel, with stirring, in such a way that a toluene/ethanol mixture is continuously distilled off as a result of the transesterification. After a reaction time of about 6 hours, the thin layer chromatogram (eluent toluene/20% ethanol) no longer shows starting material (hydroxyphenyltriazine). The yellowish melt is then treated with 250 ml of toluene, the solution is cooled, the organic phase is washed twice with 50 ml of warm water each time and the solution is then evaporated on a rotary evaporator. The residue is recrystallised from acetonitrile. The produce (compound 1) is obtained as a beige crystallisate of m.p.: 118°-120° C. (see Table I).

If, instead of 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, other piperidines substituted in the 1-position are used and the procedure is otherwise exactly the same as described in Example 1, the compounds 2-7 in Table I are obtained. Instead of the bis-xylyl derivative of hydroxyphenyltriazine, the bis-toluyl derivative can also be used (compounds 8-11 in Table I, Example 2).

The resultant ethanol is removed using a Dean-Stark water separator. After 21 hours, the reaction mixture is filtered and the solvent is evaporated. The beige solid crude product is recrystallised from 500 ml of petroleum ether (boiling range 110°-140° C.) and dried. 9.9 g (85% of theory) of the compound No. 8 are obtained as a slightly yellow powder; m.p. 157°-160° C.

During the whole reaction time, a mixture of xylene and ethanol is very slowly distilled off. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction solution is washed three times with 50 ml of water each time and then evaporated in vacuo. The ester of the above formula (compound No. 12) having an m.p. of 173° C. is obtained by crystallisation of the residue from ligroin. EXAMPLE 4:

The mixture is heated at 145° C. for 2 hours. A dark yellow reaction solution is formed in this way. After a reaction time of 2 hours, the thin layer chromatogram no longer shows starting material. The reaction mixture is cooled and filtered through 150 g of silica gel, the silica gel is washed with xylene, and the catalyst is extracted by shaking three times with 100 ml of water each time. The organic phase is dried over Na₂ SO₄ and evaporated. A yellow glassy resin is formed (compound No. 13) (44.5 g=68.4% of theory).

6.1 parts of an aromatic solvent mixture ((Solvesso® 100, Esso AG)

3.6 parts of methyl isobutyl ketone

0.1 part of zinc octoate (as an 8% solution in toluene)

0.2 part of a flow aid ((Byk® 300, Byk-Chemie).

1.5 parts of the stabilisers indicated below (dissolved in 5-10 arts of xylene) are added to this. This corresponds to 2% stabiliser, relative to solid binder (acrylate+isocyanate). The formulations obtained are mixed with 30 parts of a trimerised diisocyanate (Desmodur® N 75, Bayer AG). The clear lacquer is adjusted for sprayability using xylene. Samples of the lacquer are applied to aluminium sheets, which are coated with a coil coat, an automotive filler based on polyester and a silver metallic base lacquer based on polyester/cellulose acetobutyrate/melamine, and stoved at 80° C. for 45 minutes. A layer thickness of 44-50 μm results.
